  • I’m back to report my findings. I covered over the light with electrical tape, but I hit a problem. Now my remote control doesn’t work.

    They’ve combined the IR sensor with the LED that flashes when there is no internet connection present. The clever bastards clearly thought of this ahead of time.

    This is malicious design.






  • We are the ones with ‘invisible illnesses’. They are every bit as real as a physical disability, or other organs/body systems not working.

    You don’t tell someone to ‘man up’ when they have diabetes, so why say it to someone who has a mood disorder?

    I feel your pain! Sometimes I feel like I’m ‘unworthy’ of being helped. I try to remind myself that it’s not my fault my brain doesn’t work right, and there are tons of people out there who have no issue helping people like me, like us.





  • I think of a Lemmy account on an instance the same as an email address: it doesn’t really matter which one you pick. Pick one that works best for you. Yes, you are beholden to the instance, but it’s the same with Gmail, Outlook, GMX, etc. They can close your account at any time, but they likely won’t.

    Of course it does matter a bit what instance you pick: you want one that is well-federated with other communities that will have content/users you will enjoy engaging with. I’m pretty sure you can visit a list on each instance that shows what instances it is federated with.
